Lance

- A Spirit Unbroken

Über Lance

Marley meets… Cujo ? What would you do if there was a dog in your neighborhood forced to live outside day in/ day out, at the mercy of abusers, wild animals and brutal weather? Walter does nothing-at first. Then, an accidental meeting with Lance, a Border Collie, sets the wheels in motion for a down-to-the-wire, life-saving rescue and a disappointing discovery: Lance turns out to be a threat to anyone he can get his teeth on-including his rescuers! Their lives turned upside down by this semi-feral "pet", Walter and his wife Clara are forced to answer a painful question: do they euthanize the dog they rescued? Making their life-or-death choice even more difficult is Lance's hilarious quirkiness; when not threatening, he's incredibly entertaining-though a State Trooper, the local drug dealer, and a Megan's Law parolee, among many others, would beg to differ. This rollicking, thought-provoking, and-at times-heart-wrenching true-life account of the unorthodox rescue of an unorthodox dog is guaranteed to captivate: -Dog lovers -Recovering addicts (there are numerous passages that the 12-step community will relate to) -Survivors of child abuse (the author reveals his own poignant connection with Lance) -Any reader who can laugh, cry, or enjoy having her/his faith in humanity restored.
